Morgan Spurlock trades the big screen for the computer screen

Morgan Spurlock, the director of such films as "Super Size Me" and "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold," has dabbled in small-screen work before, most notably in the form of his late FX series "30 Days." Now, he's trying the other small screen on for size -- as in, your computer screen.

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock's latest project sees him trading the big screen for the computer screen, with the web series 'A Day in the Life.'

Today (Aug. 17), Spurlock debuted his latest project online, a six-episode series of TV-length celebrity profiles, collectively titled "A Day in the Life" and produced for Hulu.com.

Streamable for free (but with the occasional commercial interruption), it's the Web TV service's first long-form original program, and it will see a new episode airing each week, each time with a new celeb in the spotlight.

Hollywood Reporter: "Lone Ranger" director, producer offer to trim fees. In other words, hold your horses. Late last week, Disney pulled the plug on the project -- set to star Johnny Depp and be directed by Gore Verbinski -- mostly because of its $250 million price tag. But now Verbinski and others are trying to bring it back to life. Insiders are doubtful that its salvageable, but never count the masked man out.

New York Post: Stephen King's "Dark Tower" adaption isn't dead just yet. Universal might have pulled the plug on the ambitious multi-picture deal proposed by Ron Howard and producing partner Brian Grazer, but Howard and Grazer aren't giving up. Apparently they're shopping the project around Hollywood -- and apparently still with Javier Bardem attached to star as Roland Deschain, the gunslinger around whom the whole thing revolves. The bad news: In the best-scare sceneario, it'll be put off for at least a year.

YouTube (embedded video below): Before they were famous: 25 actors in 3 minutes. Not all of them are surprises, exactly (you knew that Sean Connery was in "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" and that Jack Nicholson was in the original "Little Shop of Horrors," right?) But it's still a fun little video anyway.
